Step-by-Step Solution

The problem requires us to construct a number with specific digits assigned to certain decimal places. Let's go through this step-by-step:

  • Step 1: Identify the given digits for each specified place value in the number:
    - Hundreds of thousands digit should be 1 1 .
    - Tens of thousands digit should be 8 8 .
    - Thousands digit should be 4 4 .
    - Tens digit should be 7 7 .
    - Units digit should be 2 2 .
  • Step 2: Determine positions that are unspecified:
    - The hundreds place is not specified, so it defaults to zero.
